Why Showcase #30 is a Hot Comic

What a difference a couple of years makes! Marvel blazed a trail with a blitz of superhero movies, many of which created key issues from former dump bin stock items.

DC played catch-up, and now there are at least half a dozen DC movies in the works.

Aquaman is a Golden Age mainstay who was rebooted in this vastly under-valued and under-rated Silver Age key issue. Not only is it (arguably) his first appearance since the Golden Age, the issue introduces Aqualad, who later goes on to be part of the Teen Titans.
